卡地布部落是台灣尊嚴的試金石

你知道台東市公所強行侵佔知本卑南族卡地布部落的第六公墓，為了發展觀光為由，強迫他們將祖墳遷葬嗎？ Do you know that the Taiwanese government has forced a removal of the cemeteries of the indigenous Katratripul Tribe for "development" projects, violating the people’s legally demarcated "traditional territory"?

你知道卡地布部落族人上街頭抗議，部落長老團也早已有共識，一同反對遷葬，市公所卻不放棄原有計畫，繼續要部落「凝聚共識」開會，直到開會決定出市公所滿意的共識為止？ Do you know that the Katratripul people have protested but in vain? The government wanted to get away with it, not by asking the people to reconsider the project, but by lying to the public, claiming that there was no consensus among the tribe.

市公所言下之意，是說人民的共識一旦違反政府的政策就不算共識，必得要順從政府的意見才算是共識。這樣的舉動已經嚴重違反台灣民主、自由、多元的精神。 The government kept asking the indigenous people to "negotiate" in order to achieve a consensus, AS IF they did not have one. This foolish act has strongly violated the spirit of democracy, freedom, and pluralism of the Taiwanese government.

卡地布部落已經向台東市公所抗爭兩年了，我們一定要跟部落人民站在一起，捍衛多元價值，不可以讓台東市公所一意孤行，蔑視人民的生活。 It has been two years since the Katratripul tribe started to fight. We have to stand up with the tribe, to fight against the government, and to stop the government from neglecting people’s values and destroying their sacred lands.
